Iโ€™m wondering if there might be another reason besides an expectation of pardon that these goobers were so sure they would get away with their insurrection.
It is a staple of right wing propaganda and political folklore that lefty demonstrators get off with a slap on the wrist, at worst, when they are arrested. That this isnโ€™t really true in egregious cases obviously makes no difference. The RWNJs apparently do not understand the difference between obstructing traffic and attempted assassination as a legal liability. Added to their assumption of white privilege, this led them to think they would walk just like some kid at Berkeley who sat down in the road.
